Bottle. Poured a dark amber/orange with a small fizzy white head that was fully diminishing and had poor lacing. The aroma was of light grain malts, a mild citrus hop and a sweet belgian yeast with notes of banana, apricot, corriander, maple syrup and had a mild alcohol tinge. It tasted moderatley sweet with hints of banana, citrus and corriander from the begining and stayed pretty much throughout with the finish having just a little sourness to it. Mouthfeel was light to medium in body and syrupy and creamy in texture with a flat carbonation. Overall all it was a good tasting brew that did a great job of concealing the high ABV, although it was just a little sweet for my taste.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2012 On tap @ Cigar City. The body was a nice and hazy golden with a bone-white head. Aromas were mellow and yeasty, with a thick and pleasant fruity scent as well. The taste was quite refreshing for a 10% (well-hidden) brew. Lots of delicate and dry citrus notes in this one, and malt backbone is bittersweet, like a fine honey. Not that bad, and very session-able.

This is a quad? really? I would not’ve guessed. Gold, with a decent sized white head. Very sweet aroma - Like orange juice and vodka or something like that. Lots of fruity flavors - orange, banana, pineapple, and a boozy finish.

12 oz bottle.2010.Pours a clear dull orange with a thin white head.Nose is belgian yeast,dark fruit and some raisin and port.Taste is sweet malts,some sweet hop prescense and of course belgian yeasts.This is really an average Belgian style beer.More of a dubbel than a Quad.

UPDATED: JAN 4, 2012 Bottle, Tapping the Vine. Finally got this one after a friend recommended it. Nose is slightly yeasty with heavy hits of citrus and spice. Nice golden/redish amber color. Flavor is exquisite with cinnamon spice, citrus and grape/plum accents with a lingering banana sweetness that carries this beer off with a nice finish. Sweet and enjoyable. It has a belgian flavor but a uniqueness all its own. Definitely recommended.
